My guess is that they will be at /var/spool/mail/{USERNAME}, unless you configured for something else (for instance, using procmail or even kmail).
Well, not deliberately/explicitly, but we know how YaST likes to do stuff without explaining all that it's doing -- I'm the guy who suggested that one of the best user-education steps that Novell/SuSE could take would be to make YaST simply explain what changes it was planning to make (based on your input of the moment) and then explain what changes it finally did make. ("The following lines were added to the heeblygreebly.conf file... and two new directories were created under /opt, as follows....") Not only would many people learn more about the under-the-hood aspects of Linux, we'd probably also make fewer bad config choices just because we'd see what was about to happen/happening.
As I once programmed for a living, I know that such a "simple" request would send shudders (chills) down my spine :-P
You could read them using "Pine", without configuring anything - probably.
That's a thought. If pine finds them without help, then they're in a standard place.
Well, I meant that if they were where I said previously, Pine is one of the programs that read mail directly from there. It is not the only one, "mail" also does - but I don't think you will like its interface much ;-) Even kmail can do it, but this one needs configuration. The file /var/spool/mail/{USERNAME} is the standard place, and I guess it will be there because I think you will not have interfered much with the default behavior much - yet ;-) [non-disclosure rantings :-) ]
You know as well as I do that only buffoons deliberately attach stupid disclaimers like that to their e-mail. Somebody in our company fits that description and apparently has the ear of the IT people.... or (gawd forbid) _is_ the IT people... and imagines that the disclaimer makes them look important or something. (This is me, testing how closely they monitor my mail... :-)
X'-)
I've tried to explain the realities of life, but to no avail... so it keeps getting automatically attached to all outgoing mail. Makes me cringe every time I see it. Makes me cringe and wanna hurl when I see it attached to my own mail. But hey, they've got bigger paychecks than I do, so they must be right, right? :-)
Right! :-P What a world... Reminds me. I was told once that on the plane in flight to certain american country, you had to fill up a questionnaire. One of the questions were sort of "do you intend to kill the president?". The explanation we came up with was that perhaps they intended to imprison the killer for lying, instead or added to the other "presumed" crimes... :-P - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFD1q8EtTMYHG2NR9URAiHnAJ9lGWNZ7y5iYRAIg3IT/jcQRZJF7gCfUcWk u/oyEj1r++ZgZXLIaoxMM44= =i+77 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
